My siblings and I inherited family mineral rights to 120 acres in western PA in 2016. We really didn't know what to do with it or how to value them. We did get an unsolicited offer in late 2021 which wasn't bad, but we felt we needed to "shop" these rights but didn't know where to start. I found Mr. Saunders through an online search and am glad we did. Once he got our basic information, he was easy to work with, always followed through and used his network of contacts in the field to get us 35% more for our mineral rights than we would have been able to obtain on our own. The sale went through without a hitch. All in all, a good experience and we would highly recommend Stephen Saunders without hesitation

Attorney Saunders, revue my deed and told me I do not get sub surface rights, when grantor dies. It was the intent and understanding of the grantor and grantee, that the sub surface rights would pass to me at grantors passing. However that was not the way the deed was written. It took almost two years to get the correct language in the corrective deed. This was NOT Atty. Saunders fault. I am very glad Atty. Saunders, alerted me of the incorrect wording on my deed. I would recommend Atty. Saunders, with your oil, gas and deed issues.

Attorney Tunis recently represented my wife and I in a case verses our former employer. From the first time we met, he proved to be a true professional. He was extremely knowledgeable, well researched, and more than prepared to successfully fight on our behalf. Attorney Tunis involved us in every aspect and every decision of our case. He always made himself available to us, to answer questions or to update us on progress. He always returned our calls and/or text messages regardless of the time of day. I cannot say enough about the communication between us. He successfully defended our case and I am happy to say that he got us the results that we were hoping for. He helped us through a difficult time and we can not be more appreciative. We give Attorney Tunis our highest recommendation. We will always consider him as our attorney, but also a good friend.

Mr. Tunis was my attorney for a legal dispute I had with my employer. When I first met him I realized that he was a straight to the point no nonsense attorney. I chose Mr Tunis as my attorney because of both his qualifications and his hard working approach. During the development of the case, Mr Tunis was easy to reach and would advise me of all developing aspects around my case and advise me on any aspect outside of my case that would influence our outcome. Mr Tunis handled this case in a fast and efficient way which allowed me to seek new employment and resolve the differences I had with my previous employer with a positive outcome for myself. Overall I would highly recommend him to anyone and I already have. Mr Tunis is a gentleman and a straightforward no nonsense attorney who will look out for your best interests just like he did mine.

This is a 6 star firm that goes above and beyond! From the first telephone interview, we knew that Scott would be the one to lead us through our estate planning. Every step of the way was planned and explained; our questions were answered promptly and professionally and three in person meetings were scheduled. There is even a three year future review of your estate plan to make sure that there have not been any changes in your life. Scott genuinely cares for his clients and does his best for each one. Kudos to Scott and two of his staffers, Zachary and Heather, who took very good care of us! We highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs a will and/or an estate plan.

He is a lair and does even try to help. He stated ro my husband, who at the time was incarcerated, that I wasn't in the courtroom, but I was there the whole time. Then he asked if my husband would take drug court.. he did no back history because if he did, he would've known he is a state inmate, and therefore, he was not eligible for drug court. He then got a continuance for what he said the next week. When, in was another month out. If you value your time and freedom, you're better off defending yourself than to go with this guy.

I was referred to this attorney by my SSI attorney. This law firm is very condescending to its clients. They do not return calls (attorney or paralegal), they do not follow up, and when I had to hear from the local SSI office that my paralegal was supposed to call me and never did was the final straw. While I did hire him, I immediately regretted it because he was very judgmental upon our initial consultation. For the reputation they have alleged to build, they do not value the commodity that is their client base.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You

A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.

Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.

When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?

Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:

  • Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
  • Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
  • Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
  • Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
  • Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.

What Does a Business Lawyer Do?

Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:

  • Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
  • Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
  • Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
  • Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
  • Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.

How Are Business Lawyers Paid?

Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
  • Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.

The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.

How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:

  • The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
  • The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
  • The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.

It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer

Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. What are your fees, and how do you bill?
    Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. Do you have experience in my specific industry?
    Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

  • Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
  • Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
  • Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:

  • A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
  • Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
  • A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
  • Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
  • Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.

By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
